Cash in cans today

You have until the 18th of March to cash in your cans for 10 cents. Coca Cola Amatil says you can get a refund on bottles and cans at the Envirobank recycling depot for the next 2 weeks.

Coke has also said they will reduce the wholesale price of soft drinks by 12 cents a container from today. The company increased the price of drinks by 15 cents each after the cash for container scheme was introduced.

So what is the Mutual recognition act and why can South Australia continue to run their cash for containers scheme? Take a listen to Coca Cola Amatil spokesperson, Alec Wagstaff explain why the company challenged the Territory scheme.

Alec Wagstaff also says the company hopes to help set up kerbside recycling in local council areas where it currently does not exist.

Coca Cola is a joke. They want to put the price up 5 cents more then what they were prepared to give back as a deposit on their product return and now by challenging the programme in the federal court they won't take responsibility for the recycling of all their products so we can keep our planet clean and green. Australia is becoming a joke.
